There is no reviewable copy at my hand for the following quotes:

"Cooper was forging connections between folk and experimental musics long before America got New or Wierd.." (The Wire)

"...a quantum leap into Folk-Jazz..." (Folk Roots)

"...featured in the pioneering New Musical Express Book Of Rock in the mid-70's...Mike Cooper may never have matched the commercial success of some of his contemporaries, but he can boast an impressive body of work that continues to grow." (David Wells - Paper and Smoke liner notes)

"As both a performer and writer he has occupied an unusual niche, being willing to engage with both western experimental and so called Roots music styles (such as Hawaiian lap-steel guitar playing) and critical ideas about these circulating in various journalistic and scholarly contexts." (Perfect Beat)

"....a masterpiece of contemporary exotica." (Rayon Hula reviewed in the Wire).

I take them out now. If someone thinks they are OK without further reference, he can put them back anytime.
